Nobody  on  the  road,

Nobody  on  the  beach.

I  feel  it  in  the  air,

The  summer's  out  of  reach.

Empty  lake,  empty  streets,

The  sun  goes  down  alone.

I'm  driving  by  your  house

Though  I  know  you're  not  home.

But  I  can  see  you,

Your  brown  skin  shining  in  the  sun.

You  got  your  hair  combed  back

And  your  sunglasses  on,  baby.

And  I  can  tell  you  my  love  for  you  will  still  be  strong

After  the  boys  of  summer  have  gone.

I  never  will  forget  those  nights.

I  wonder  if  it  was  a  dream.

Remember  how  you  made  me  crazy,

Remember  how  I  made  you  scream.

Now  I  don't  understand  what

Happened  to  our  love.

But,  baby,  I'm  gonna  get  you  back,

I'm  gonna  show  you  what  I'm  made  of.

But  I  can  see  you,

Your  brown  skin  shining  in  the  sun.

I  see  you  walking  real  slow  and  you're

Smiling  at  everyone.

And  I  can  tell  you  my  love  for  you  will  still  be  strong

After  the  boys  of  summer  have  gone.

Out  on  the  road  today  I  saw  a  DEADHEAD

Sticker  on  a  Cadillac.

A  little  voice  inside  my  head  said:

"Don't  look  back,  you  can  never  look  back."

I  thought  I  knew  what  love  was.

What  did  I  know?

Those  days  are  gone  forever.

I  should  just  let  them  go,  but...

But  I  can  see  you,

Your  brown  skin  shining  in  the  sun.

You  got  that  top  pulled  down,

And  that  radio  on,  baby.

And  I  can  tell  you  my  love  for  you  will  still  be  strong,

After  the  boys  of  summer  have  gone.

I  can  see  you,

Your  brown  skin  shining  in  the  sun.

You  got  that  hair  slicked  back,

And  those  Wayfarers  on,  baby.

And  I  can  tell  you  my  love  for  you  will  still  be  strong,

After  the  boys  of  summer  have  gone.
